Sun and Cold

Nice to see clear skies as cold winds have welcomed themselves back into the local scene. We’ll have a welcome break in the wet weather through the day on Friday, allowing for a few days of mostly clear skies, albeit chilly temperatures. Rain returns for Saturday, although it will clear-up for Sunday.

Forecast Discussion

A cold front has passed and skies are crystal clear. Tonight will be clear but cold.

High pressure will dominate the weather Wednesday through Friday. A nondescript cold front will pass through Wednesday night, serving only to reinforce the seasonably chilly air and providing no sensible weather impacts otherwise. Temperatures through Friday will remain below normal.

Low-pressure tracking out of Texas on Friday will push across the Tennessee Valley on Saturday, spreading a shield of rain into the mountains and Foothills of North Carolina. Rain could start briefly late Friday night as a mix, but then over to rain for your Saturday. The good news? The system is moving fast enough that it should be out of here for the conclusion of the weekend.
